Frequently asked counselling questions -


How do I know if I need anxiety counselling?

 

If anxiety interferes with your daily life, relationships, or ability to function, counselling can help. Common signs include persistent worry, physical symptoms like a racing heart or muscle tension, difficulty sleeping, and avoidance of certain situations.

​​


What happens during an anxiety counselling session?

 

In sessions, we discuss your specific concerns and challenges. The therapist will guide you through evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to identify thought patterns and behaviours contributing to anxiety. Sessions are tailored to your individual needs.

​​


How long does anxiety counselling take?

 

The duration of counselling depends on your unique situation and goals. Many people notice improvements after 6–12 sessions, but this can vary. Your therapist will regularly review your progress to ensure the approach meets your needs.

​​


Can therapy really help my anxiety?

 

Yes, therapy has been proven effective in managing anxiety. Evidence-based approaches like CBT help reduce symptoms by addressing the root causes of anxiety and equipping you with practical coping skills.

​


Will I need to take medication for anxiety?

 

Counselling is often effective on its own, but some individuals may benefit from medication in conjunction with therapy. You can discuss medication options with your GP to determine the best course of action if needed.
